@jemc how would you feel about moving forward with this. instead of @? I'd like to move this and #173 forward but we have some syntax issues to resolve. I'm in favor of "this" because it is the least breaking option.

I'd agree that this. is "better than nothing" for the purposes of this RFC, so I'd be good with amending this RFC to use that syntax. It's still less boilerplate than the current status quo.

For #173 I would not be in favor of making that change with this. - I think it's too much friction added for something so ubiquitous.

@jemc
Update "assign param" RFC to use this. syntax.

The support for the `@` syntax is not there yet, so we can move forward with this RFC without that syntax yet in place.

We appear to have an impasse on #173, but it would be good to move forward with this RFC so let's do that and continue to discuss #173.

What happens with this PR if the body of the constructor is now empty? Do we still need to include => None?

My expectation would be yes, you need to. I think it is worth explicitly noting that in this RFC.

I've updated it to explicitly mention that requirement.

One more note possibly worth adding: are any names supported for keyword argument syntax? Does that create semver issues with the name requirements?

It was noted on the sync call that @jemc will note that how this interacts with named arguments in unresolved questions.
